Treasure Secret

Guert quickly took out the box given to him by the mysterious woman in the dark room last night from the "storage".

At that time, he couldn't open it because there were some strange runes on the edge of the wooden box. Could it be because of this that he was constantly hit by that strange force? But how to get rid of this rune?

He wiped it back and forth several times with his hands, but there was no response at all.

At this moment, that pleasant voice appeared again, saying: "Did you take out the thing? The induction is more obvious now!

Quick, remove the runes! "

Guert knew it must be this box, and hurriedly said: "How to get there? I can't get rid of it after playing around!"

The voice paused for a while, and finally said: "Quick, use your "Heavenly Heart Sutra", remove the runes, and hide the box."

The voice stopped abruptly halfway through.

Guert was still at a loss, thinking: The Heart Sutra of Absolute Heaven? What's this? Who is this woman? Seems to understand my situation well!

He put his hand on the edge of the box and touched it unconsciously, and suddenly his heart moved. Since the woman said the Heart Sutra of Absolute Heaven, he probably has it, but he just didn't know it.

If you want to talk about something that you don't know about, but it's amazing, it's probably that cool current!

Thinking of this, he quickly closed his eyes, crossed his hands to hold the wooden box close to the dantian, the zhenqi in the body rolled and sank to the dantian, and the zhenqi poured in continuously, and soon a cool current slowly flowed out from the dantian.

Guert trembled slightly, knowing whether it was right or wrong in the next moment, he forcibly stabilized his mind, the cold flow slowly flowed to his hands, and through his fingertips, the cold flow finally touched the wooden box.

A wonderful thing happened. Guert seemed to have suddenly fallen into the empty space. His eyes lit up for a moment, and a solid wall that could not be seen suddenly appeared. On the earthy brown wall, dozens of strange symbols were written flying and dancing.

Gult knew that this was the rune on the wooden box.

After a quick glance, he was convinced that he really couldn't understand. He jumped up, pressed his hands on the solid wall, and the cool current in his body continuously penetrated into the wall. After a while, the earthy brown solid wall began to emit white light. And those strange runes are shining red, which is extremely conspicuous in the white light.

Guert knew that this was the critical moment to eliminate the rune, so he gritted his teeth and poured all the cold current from his body regardless of the consequences.

Finally, with a loud bang, the invisible wall collapsed suddenly, and stones fell from high places continuously.

Guert was in a hurry, and was rolled all over the ground by the stones, but he had exhausted all his strength just now, and he couldn't move at this time, let alone avoid these falling stones.

I don't know how long it took, Guert felt another shock in his head, his eyes lit up, he opened his eyes, a piece of sunlight came in from outside, and he was lying on the bed himself, the illusion just now had all disappeared, and the wooden box was gone. He was thrown on the bed, but the soreness on his body reminded him that it was not just a mere illusion.

Panting heavily, Guert took the box that fell on the bed, and saw that the runes on it had disappeared, and there was a gap at the edge of the wooden box, which was different from the previous sealed state.

Just as he was about to open it, the previous voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

She didn't know what she was doing, but she gasped for breath at this moment, and said, "Thank God, you finally fixed it, quickly hide it, I don't have the strength to stop it for you anymore!"

Although Guert didn't know what happened, he also knew that this person did help him a lot. He hurriedly said thank you, and wanted to ask her specific name, but the voice suddenly said: "Remember, you owe me another favor!"

As soon as the words fell, the contact between the two was completely cut off.

Guert was stunned, the tone was so familiar!

He didn't dare to open the box again, so he hurriedly put it back into the "storage", and suddenly remembered that Mu Fengling had said similar words to himself when he rescued Lian Qinghan before, could it be that the person just now was Mu Fengling?

He thought that this person was so familiar with his situation, and he had also heard that Mu Fengling was the most beautiful woman. The voice of this person just now was very pleasant, and he should not be bad looking. Could it be that Mu Fengling is really Mu Fengling?

But what did she do for herself?

At this moment, he was completely convinced that that person was Mu Fengling.

wrong! Aren't they looking for something for assessment? See how they dare to break any rules and use that moon-chasing formation!

It stands to reason that this thing should be no small matter, so why is she still helping herself like this? Deliberately let yourself get it?

If it was an ordinary woman, Guert might still be narcissistic and think that she has taken a fancy to him, but the other party is a master in the cultivation world, and she is also a beautiful woman, how could she fall in love with a man in the human world so easily! So he only thought about it once, and then it disappeared automatically.

Thinking about this wooden box again, it was obviously a meeting gift given to him by that mysterious beauty, so how could it be something for assessment?

What is the identity of that woman?

Mysteries turned up in his heart, and he couldn't help but feel a headache. What the hell is going on? I just can't figure it out at all!

It seems that no matter what, I should go to Mu Fengling to ask these things clearly, otherwise I will definitely die of curiosity.

He had made up his mind, but right now his limbs were too weak, and he might not be able to go without a certain period of rest.

At this moment, the door of the guest room was knocked suddenly.

The person who came was a servant of the Mei Mansion. It turned out that Xiao Cheng had woken up and called Guert over to meet him. Guert forced himself to get out of bed with a wry smile. Fortunately, the distance was very short. lie down.

Xiao Cheng was lying on the bed full of energy, seeing Guert's sluggish face, he was taken aback, and asked concerned: "Xiao Qiu, what's wrong with you?"

Guert sat down next to the bed, waved his hands and smiled wryly: "I'm fine, I'm exhausted, is Uncle Shaw in good health?"

Xiao Cheng glanced at him and said, "You are much more sensible now than before! Your father will be very happy to know!"

When Guert heard him mentioning his father, he immediately lifted his spirits, and said, "I was about to ask, where are my family members?"

Xiao Cheng sighed lightly, and said: "You may already know that your father is actually hiding here with an incognito name, hidden in the city, no one suspected him at all!

"But that time when His Highness came to Yanghua to play, he happened to meet him on the road. He used to be the Taifu of the Qingzhe Imperial Court. About eighteen years ago, he took your mother and your brother to hide here. , I gave birth to you after arriving here."

Gurte nodded, these were things he had already determined.

What he really cared about was why did his father hide like this?

Father's character is old-fashioned, it's normal to offend people, but a dignified military god, who is hiding so hard?

Questions were raised immediately.

Xiao Cheng showed a puzzled look, and said: "Actually, I don't know too well. He contacted me only when he arrived in Yanghua. In Yanghua city, I am the only one who knows his real identity. Since he believes in me as a friend , It's not easy for me to ask him too much. But when I was drinking and chatting a few times, I mentioned it while drinking, and it might have something to do with your mother. "

Guert said in surprise: "My mother? How could it be? She has always lived in seclusion, how could she make enemies with others?"

Xiao Cheng said apologetically: "I don't know these things anymore. But the person who can make your father hide like this must be extremely powerful, so you'd better be careful, don't go out and say your identity!"

Gurte nodded and said: "I know, I just treat him as the little officer in Yanghua City, my old-fashioned father."

Xiao Cheng smiled slightly, thinking that the child's temperament has changed a lot, but his personality has not changed much. When it comes to his father, his speech is also in a mess.

Thinking of this, Xiao Cheng suddenly gave him a more attentive look, and said, "Your appearance seems to have changed."

Guert patted his head stupidly, and said, "I don't know how it changed, it just happened all of a sudden!"

Xiao Cheng nodded and said: "Well, when your father left that day, he took special care of me to continue looking for you, but he also said that your life is very hard, so he is not very worried about you!"

Guerte rolled his eyes angrily, what kind of rotten father is this? How can he not care about his own child's accident, hum! Still good mom!

Xiao Cheng continued: "Don't blame your father, your mother fell ill the day after you disappeared, and then something happened, and she died overnight. Your mother was not in good health, and your father loved your mother very much. , I am so angry with you now!"

When Guert heard this, his heart was filled with guilt. He had always been extremely naughty. Whenever something happened, his mother would help him, but the strange thing was that no matter what he did, his mother always loved him unconditionally, so Even such a rigid father had no choice but to indulge himself.

At this time, his heart was filled with longing for his relatives, and he couldn't help asking: "Does Uncle Xiao know where my parents are hiding? I'm going to find them!"

Xiao Cheng shook his head and said, "Your father has always been cautious in doing things, and he was unexpected, which is beyond the imagination of ordinary people."

Guert couldn't hide the disappointment on his face, but when he remembered that he still had some clues, he told Xiao Cheng about the sporadic clues about Zi Xingyi that he found before.

Xiao Cheng pondered for a while, and said: "It should be your father, but he can't be so careless in his actions. The flaws you mentioned are too obvious to him, so he probably doesn't know."

Guert's heart tightened, and he asked, "Isn't it Dad?"

Xiao Cheng smiled and said: "Seeing how nervous you are, it seems that even a naughty child will miss his father after a long time away."

Guert knew that it must be his previous "bad deeds", which made it difficult for people to believe his "feeling for his father". Thinking about the scene where he was often beaten by his father in the past, he felt a special kind of intimacy. Thinking of this, he couldn't help rolling his eyes. Could it be that his skin was really itchy? Xiao Cheng watched him grow up and looked at his expression, so he naturally knew what was going on in this kid's mind, so he couldn't help laughing, and said after a while: "Don't worry, these messages are probably left to you intentionally by your father, maybe because you are afraid that you won't find them."

Guert was embarrassed by Xiao Cheng's smile at first, but thinking about it now, he also felt that Xiao Cheng was right, so he was relieved, and began to ask what happened to Yanghua City, and how he was Was Chi Tianjun imprisoned?

Xiao Cheng felt emotional for a while, and said: "The officialdom is hard. I originally wanted to retire after your father left, but it's a pity that Master Long never let me go. Later, Xiao Ling'er wanted to go to Jindu to learn martial arts. I I kept dragging and dragging, and finally got dragged into the water."

As he spoke, he told what happened to Yang Hua.

It turns out that Yanghua City is located in the eastern corner of the Imprint Continent, and has exchanges of goods with some small overseas islands. Many precious and rare commodities are transported into the Imprint Continent through Yanghua. Therefore, Yanghua, a relatively remote city, The city has become one of several big cities in Qingzhe, and has also deployed heavy troops.

Especially in recent years, with the development of various heavenly instruments and the continuous convenience of transportation, Yang Hua began to feel a little independent of Qingzhe. The city lord Long and his party are the direct descendants of the Qingzhe Imperial Court. Because of Yang Hua's special position, they are specially sent to take charge of Yang Hua.

The problem lies with Chi Tianjun. As his official rank continued to rise, he didn't know where the guts came from. He actually joined forces with the powerful Xuan Gang of the Qingzhe Kingdom to try to control Yanghua City, in vain attempt to claim the king's independence. They were all arrested, while Long and his party were taken over by his power and placed under house arrest.

The entire Yanghua city maintains an orderly appearance on the surface, but in fact, it has fallen into the control of Chi Tianjun.

Xiao Cheng sighed: "I was familiar with Chi Tianjun when he was transferred here in the early years, but I don't know why he has become so powerful now!

Not only are they cruel and ruthless, but they also kill them all. Many officials are killed as soon as they are caught. Those in the dungeon are considered to be of some status and level, so they are all kept. "

Guert didn't bother to deal with these annoying things, but he was quite upset to see the city where he lived since childhood fell into the hands of Chi Tianjun.

But thinking about it, I was only one person. If Chi Tianjun really mobilized thousands of troops to charge, I couldn't kill them, and I couldn't be killed by them. This would be really embarrassing!

Suddenly remembered something, Guert asked: "Could it be that there is no news from Qingzhe Imperial Court? I feel that there is no movement around me!"

Xiao Cheng shook his head and said: "Then I don't know. It stands to reason that Master Long should have masters from the imperial court, but they have no intention to calculate with their minds, and Chi Tianjun has always been honest before, so we have no defense against him." , it is not impossible to be caught by him."

Guert looked at Xiao Cheng's wounds strangely, and said, "Uncle Xiao, aren't you a big man? Why are you injured like this? They even tortured you with special instruments of torture. I see that those people who were rescued later It doesn't seem to be there!"

Xiao Cheng smiled and said, "I'm not a senior official, at most I'm only in the upper middle rank among those officials."

Guert stuck out his tongue, and said, "Then why does Chi Tianjun value you so much?"

The smile on Xiao Cheng's face disappeared immediately, he looked around and said, "Go and close the door, I'll tell you something."

Seeing that his face was getting serious, Guert knew that what he said later might be very important, so he turned around and closed the door, sat on the side of the bed, and waited for Xiao Cheng to say that thing!

Xiao Cheng said in a low voice, "This is why they tortured me."

Guert's curiosity has been aroused, and he listened intently to Xiao Cheng's words.

Xiao Cheng said: "The reason they tortured me is because they knew that I knew your father very well, and they thought that I must know your father's secret."

Guert let out a cry. He never expected that this had something to do with his father, so he listened more attentively.

Xiao Cheng said: "Your father conquered the world. Not only did he defeat the Shenguang Kingdom, but the Qi League was also forced to stop selling magic weapons that hurt people publicly at that time. In the end, their leader was forced to use the country's supreme Dignity made an oath, announcing that Qimeng will remain permanently neutral, so your father Ling Yuanhong is not only the military god of Qingzhe, but also the military god of the entire Imprint Continent.

"It is also because of this that his sudden disappearance that year caused an uproar in the entire continent. Shenguang and Qimeng even sent people to question the Qingzhe Imperial Court, asking them to hand over your father.

"The Qingzhe Imperial Court naturally couldn't hand it over, and the three parties broke up unhappily. Since then, there have been rumors that your father was found by the Qingzhe Imperial Court after he collected a batch of treasures when he was conquering the world. Force him to hand it over, and finally your father disappeared with the treasure."

When Guert heard this, he couldn't help being startled, knowing why Chi Tianjun and the others would force Xiao Cheng to question, they obviously thought that Xiao Cheng would know where the treasure was, so they tortured him severely.

But with his father's personality, would he hide things privately?

Xiao Cheng knew what he was thinking by seeing his expression, and said with a smile: "Those who know your father well, naturally know that although he uses troops to make tricks, his personality is very rigid, and he is determined not to accept extra favors from others."

Guert couldn't help but nodded his head and said, "Then why do they still believe so?"

Xiao Cheng sighed: "Sometimes people's hearts are difficult to guess, no matter how catchy things are, as long as they are motivated by profit, they will do it!"

Guert was stunned, thinking of what he had experienced in the cave where the artifact was hidden. In fact, before the stone wall was damaged, no one could be sure that there was an artifact inside, but he did not know how many people were sent in to find the artifact, regardless of human life. valuable!

Could it be that this is human nature?

Xiao Cheng didn't know that Guert would have such an understanding, and continued: "Actually, in your father's heart, the only harvest for many years of fighting is meeting your mother, and then the two of them lived in seclusion in a farm near Jindu."

Gould nodded. During those days, he had heard his mother mention that he spent his honeymoon there with his father. He also laughed at his old-fashioned father for not being romantic at all. Go to such a dirty farm, but I don't know what Xiao Cheng's intention is when he mentions it at this time?

Xiao Cheng lowered his voice and said: "Brother Ling told me before he left that if he meets you one day, he will tell you that he has left something for his child over there, so you can pick it up!"

Guert was startled, and looked at Xiao Cheng with surprised eyes, the meaning was obvious, he was obviously asking Xiao Cheng, did his father really hide something? In other words, there are so-called treasures?

Xiao Cheng smiled wryly and shook his head, "I don't know anything else, he just took care of me, but he didn't say anything else."

Guert was stunned, and said, "Isn't it mentioned anywhere?"

Xiao Cheng shook his head and said, "No, I haven't mentioned anything else."

Guert sat by the bed and thought for a while in a daze, only to realize that Xiao Cheng was a little sleepy after talking so much, he quickly stood up and bowed down: "Thank you, Uncle Xiao!"

Xiao Cheng smiled and waved his hands and said, "Don't say these outlandish words, I watched you grow up, and this time I really didn't expect that I would survive this time, and you were the one who rescued me!" After a pause, He sighed slightly: "I don't know how Xiao Ling'er has learned in Jindu, she has been there for more than half a year."

Guert remembered that before he was caught by Ren Mang, he had met Xiao Ling at the entrance of the underground church in Temple Street. How is she?

Thinking of this, he said: "Uncle Xiao, something happened here, I will go to Jindu immediately, and I will also inform Xiaoling about your situation, and let her come back to see you as soon as possible."

Xiao Cheng said with a smile: "In fact, she was favored by Daoist Youming early here, and later she was selected to participate in some kind of meeting. She must retreat and practice, so I let her out. During this period, she will be isolated from the world, so You may not see her even if you go to Jindu!"

Guert was stunned, thinking that the name of Master You Ming seemed familiar, and said: "I received the news, it seems that Xiao Ling heard that you were imprisoned, so he hurried back."

Xiao Cheng was stunned, and said: "Impossible, right? She shouldn't know!"

Guert smiled bitterly in his heart: It seems that Ruoyu's two news about Uncle Xiao are wrong, he is not in that dark room, and Xiaoling has not come back either!

The two chatted for a few more words, Guert knew that Xiao Cheng needed to rest more, so he left, returned to his guest room, sat quietly on the bed , and began to think about the current situation.

He learned a lot of news from Xiao Cheng, and he probably had an idea of the situation in the city.

Chi Tianjun should be confident, otherwise he is so ambitious, how could he not be afraid of things being exposed?

Once the strength of his troops is exposed, no amount of them can resist the strength of Qingzhe's entire country.

Chi Tianjun must have a trump card in his hand. Although he doesn't know how big it will be, at least he can make Qingzhe Huangting acquiesce in his semi-independent state!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but patted his head, and he blurted out: "I'm really stupid, aren't they?"
